Transcript

00:00 A lawyer's Facebook post may have been taken down because it was deemed lacking in constructive

00:06 contribution to public discourse.

00:08 The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission said the post was perceived as

00:13 an attempt to defame a specific individual who is a federal minister and was not intended

00:18 to foster healthy discussion, discourse or debate.

00:22 On May 26, lawyer Shamshir Singh Din wrote a post about Asia Mobility Technology's

00:27 Sanjaran Berhad, which was co-owned by M. Ramachandran, the husband of Yu Feng Sports

00:31 Minister Hannah Yeo.

00:33 MCMC said Shamshir's post came at a time when there were several other posts on Facebook

00:38 containing derogatory remarks aimed at disturbing and bullying Yeo.

00:43 It also claimed that Shamshir did not attempt to cross-check the content of his post with

00:47 publicly available information.

00:49 The Selangor government's recent selection of Asia Mobility to run a demand-responsive

00:54 transit service gave rise to allegations of preferential treatment and conflict of interest.
